- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 awarded a $1,465,119 Cooperative Agreement to Mississippi State University under the Geographic Programs – Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475). The project aims to enhance and protect the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico by reducing non-point source nutrient pollution from agriculture. Key activities include identifying factors influencing the adoption of nutrient-reducing precision and regenerative agricultural practices, demonstrating...
- This $1,499,999 Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs – Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475) supports the University of Houston's efforts to enhance and protect the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The key activities under this 3-year award include: Demonstrating a new floating aquatic plant system that can reliably remove 50-60% of excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from stormwater runoff. The system will use floating...
- This Cooperative Agreement award of $1,284,481 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475) supports the B.F. Smith Foundation's efforts to improve water quality in the Gulf of Mexico. The project will conduct on-farm demonstrations to evaluate innovative technologies and strategies that can be integrated into farming systems to reduce nutrient and sediment loading into waterbodies. Key activities include characterizing agricultural and ecological systems,...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides $748,985 to Auburn University to support efforts to improve water quality in the Gulf of Mexico. The key activities include developing a real-time, low-cost water quality monitoring network in coastal Alabama and conducting microbiological analysis of water samples to enhance predictions of water quality impairments. The project aims to...
- This Cooperative Agreement award in the amount of $1,494,998 was made by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 under the Geographic Programs - Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475). The funding will support the Gulf of Mexico Alliance's (GOMA) efforts to improve water quality in the Gulf of Mexico using novel conservation practices on prioritized agricultural land. Key project activities include developing site-specific conservation plans, monitoring to document nonpoint...
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $2,499,998 Cooperative Agreement under the Geographic Programs - Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to support efforts improving the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The primary objectives are to provide clean water to environmental justice communities in South Texas using self-sustained green solutions, while protecting and restoring the Gulf of Mexico watershed by reducing nutrient...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides $1,999,986 to the University of South Alabama to support efforts in improving the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The key activities to be performed include: Transforming agricultural residues into nutrient-capturing filters using novel adhesive and advanced methods, and conducting lab and field trials to optimize and validate their real-world applicability. Providing insights into nutrient transport, identifying high-priority runoff areas, and helping refine sustainable nutrient management practices. Distributing findings through workshops and digital platforms to encourage widespread adoption of these solutions by farming communities. The project will involve a multi-institutional team of experts in engineering, materials science, and sustainable farming to deliver practical and scalable solutions for reducing nutrient pollution in the Gulf of Mexico.
